What the attendants are saying…

“You converted me from a skeptic to a believer in SOCIAL SELLING, in a two hour awareness session at the PSASA chapter meeting. I have been using Link-in to research potential clients, but in effect I have been a passenger instead of a driver. I am now determined to use this platform for prospecting and building relationships with senior people in my SAFETY niche.”

– Jurgen Tietz (Professional Speaker and Thought Leader)

“Francois presented a Social Selling 90-minute workshop at the PSASA’s meeting last Thursday. I’m a bit of a sceptic when it comes to social media – not really buying into the value of social as a sales tool. Well, Francois totally changed my viewpoint with his perspective on social selling and LinkedIn. I’m really excited to try out some of the strategies he highlighted. In my opinion, Francois is one of the top digital marketing experts in South Africa today, if not the world. Go to him, you won’t be sorry.”

– Jacques de Villiers, president of the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa
